  SAP Error Message:
  WS743 - Document &1 has been read from historical data area or archive
  
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs when a user tries to access or process a document that is no longer available in the current, active database tables but has been moved to the historical data area or archived.

If a transaction or report tries to access such a document without proper archive retrieval mechanisms, SAP issues this message to indicate that the document is not in the current database but in the archive.
